Silicon Errata Issues

1. Silicon Errata Issues

Notice:  This document summarizes all silicon errata issues from all revisions of silicon, previous as well
as current. Only the issues indicated by the bold font in the following tables apply to the current silicon
revision.

1.1 Module: Universal Timer (UTMR) Module

1.1.1 Reset Does Not Happen at Period Match When the Prescaler > 0
When the prescaler > 0 and a hardware-based Reset event is selected (RESET = ‘b01 or ‘b10 or ‘b11), the timer
does not reset at period match.

Work around
1. Use prescaler = 0, or
2. When using prescaler > 0, clear the timer in software using the CLR command at every PR match interrupt.

1.1.2 Dead Zone Exists in Level-Triggered Start/Reset Condition When an ERS Signal Is Generated Due
to an SFR Access
When a level-triggered Start/Reset condition (START = ‘b11 or RESET = ‘b01) is triggered by an ERS signal
generated by an SFR access such as TUxyPRL_Write or TUxyTMRL_Read or TUxyCRL_Read (TUxyERS = 0x3E
or 0x3F), there exists a dead zone in which subsequent SFR accesses will be missed. This dead zone is the period
between the ZIF flag being set and the timer starting to count again. This can be monitored by checking either the
RUN status bit or the level output of the timer.

Work around
The user must wait for the timer to start counting before accessing the period, counter and capture registers again.

1.1.3 Reset Does Not Happen at Period Match When the Prescaler > 0 and the Timer Stops at Period
Match
When the prescaler > 0 and the timer is configured to reset at a hardware-based event (RESET = ‘b01 or ‘b10 or
‘b11) and stop at period match (STOP = `b11), the timer stops at period match but does not reset (no pulse output
occurs and ZIF interrupt is not generated).

Work around
1. Use prescaler = 0, or
2. When using prescaler > 0, clear the timer in software using the CLR command at every PR match interrupt.

1.1.4 Pulse Output Does Not Occur at Period Match When the Prescaler = 1
The timer output pulse will not occur at period match when prescaler = 1.

Work around
1. Use prescaler = 0 or prescaler > 1 when a pulse output is desired.

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specifications contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is secure when used in the intended manner and under normal
conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods being used in attempts to breach the code protection features
of the Microchip devices. We believe that these methods require using the Microchip products in a manner
outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Attempts to breach these code
protection features, most likely, cannot be accomplished without violating Microchip’s intellectual property rights.
• Microchip is willing to work with any customer who is concerned about the integrity of its code.
• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of its code. Code
protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product is “unbreakable.” Code protection is constantly
evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products.
Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue
for relief under that Act.
